I am making simple dolls. Can I draw on this with pencils or markers? What type of varnish would I use?

I haven't tried but I bet you can. Not sure about pencil but if its just guide lines to paint/draw over I think it would work but I bet it would rub right off it you try. As far as pens I think you would need something like a sharpie because once the clay is dry its kind of like hard plastic and the ones that aren't indelible may rub off. I have tried non permanent ink pads and they rub right off leaving just a hint of color and I'm sure if I wash it all of it will come off. You will need to seal it with something. I use Apoxie Sculpt in my jewelry making for beads and the like and adhering pieces together. I paint it with inexpensive craft store acrylic paint then seal it with Delta Creamcoat Varnish found in the same aisle as the craft paints. I use 2 - 3 coats. I'm sure any varnish will work. I love this stuff!

As I use lots of water to clean the machine with I'm siding with the other people that have answered the question to stay away from non water based paint. If you're thinking of thin lacquers or varnishes a regular spray gun would be better suited for that work.

I would say permanent marker. They are not shiny at all and I feel a fabric marker may bleed.

There are vinyl anaglypta papers...You could paint it with semi gloss, but I would be more worried about the seams and moisture getting in between causing peeling. I would recommend using pressed metal. You could use a primer and then any paint you like. This would give you the ability to seal the seams.

The cover is fabric over a hard cover. Yes, you can use markers, pen, or paint on the cover. I have not tried using markers to know if lines will bleed.

you can draw on them with markers.I don't think pens or pencils will work. I never tried those.

I used the markers on a tray that I painted. As long as you don't want to use and re-use as a chalkboard, they should work great!

I actually use a mechanical chalk pencil that I purchased at a fabric store. It has regular chalk in it, but it is a lot thinner since it is supported by the mechanical pencil. It works great on the labels and my chalk cloth table runner!

Seems like, with another Make-A-Plate Kit, we used our own water-based markers because theirs dried up before all my kids were done coloring. This time we just used theirs. I do believe that any water-based markers should work. I'd try it, but I hesitate to urge others to.

I use WC pencils and then a very light wash to blend. Also, water brushes workwith it well. I weight down the painting once it's dry. Hope this helps.

I only use this on paper in a sketchbook. Not familiar with using on fabric.

Magic marker is fine just use permanent marker because you will need to spray them with a scent killer

The paint (in the marker) is acrylic which is essentially plastic, so I am thinking it would work. I do know that the Sakura IDentipen writes on glass and plastic for sure.

I guess you can, if you're careful about it. I wouldn't know what type of paint to use. I just used crayons on mine.

My first questions would be how big is the doll and what type of paint do you use. If they are, say the same size as a Barbie doll to about 24" tall doll, this will be perfect. This air-brush comes with the .2 needle {for fine detail work} the .3 needle {for mid range} and .5 needle {large} I've sprayed both enamels and acrylics. Easy clean up, and needle change. The kit does come with everything you need, EVERYTHING. I myself use the .2 needle most of the time for my 1/48th scale model painting{styrene plastic} for camouflage,and some smaller pieces. I did purchase a second air-brush for clear coating. Fewer headaches, {less chance of cross contamination of paint} less chance of clogging. I do like all my Master series of air-brushes. But to be fair, I think the Point Zero air-brush is better. Model # PZ-260XS also a complete kit .2,.3,.5 needles,nozzles and cups. This can also do the same job, same connection as the Master. I prefer the Point Zero, softer trigger, better control, smoother paint flow, handles paint changes easier. At the price, and like I said having 2 {1 for painting,1 for clear coats} is a better way to go. IF YOU CLEAR COAT. If you just need one, I'd say the Point Zero kit. I hope this is not tooo long winded an answer, and does help. One side note if you need to purchase a compressor, be sure to get one with a reservoir tank. All the best of luck.

Chalk, it's a chalk board surface. I wouldn't try using markers or crayon on it.

At least glue. I did not realize that the model needed this and did not give the model as a gift because the child was too young to work at this level. The model does not say what types of paints are needed. So I would have to say yes. You will need to buy the glue and some paints.
